SPO site makes a call to browser.pipe.aria.microsoft.com
- ASync requests are non-blocking, meaning they won't prevent the site from loading even if the request is delayed.
Hey akhlebnikov ,
So, this domain seems to be sent from SharePoint to record some metrics from the client. Nothing you should worry about, IMO. I have it blocked in uBlock Origin and haven't noticed anything breaking due to that.
Microsoft doesn't seem to give a detailed clarification for what it uses this data for, but if you thorw this domain on google you'll notice other users getting hits to this address from different Microsoft products.
I believe you can block these requests and be just fine.

Carlos_Marins , thank you for reply!
It is a good idea for one particular machine, for mine, for example. And I'll try it.
But I won't be able to install the blocker on all the machines behind satellites.
Initially I wondered whether it is possible for the SPO site itself to stop making such requests. By disabling some feature in a menu, for example.
We are using SharePoint as SaaS from MS, which means functionality altering abilities are rather poor.
Hey akhlebnikov ,
I understand it may be hard to block it on all machines. Are these machines running on a local network? If they're behing a firewall, assuming youo are the admin, you could block these requests there, so you wouldn't need to worry about the machines.

I work in such a big company (and I'm not an admin), that it is impossible to do such global blocks, in terms of bureaucracy 🙂
Still, I will definitely try uBlock, it seem to be a good workaround, at least temporal.
Thank you again!
